Can trainee teachers help to raise standards in your school? Four primary schools in Walsall did some research to find out
Many schools are reluctant to take student teachers on placements because they are worried about the impact on children’s progress, particularly in those important weeks leading up to SATs. However, four schools in Walsall are taking on more students than ever before because they have discovered just how useful they can be.
They all took part in the Partnership Development Schools (PDS) programme with the University of Wolverhampton and Newman University College, Birmingham. The programme, which was funded by the Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA), encouraged collaboration between schools and initial teacher training (ITT) providers with the aim of improving the quality and number of placements for trainee teachers.
